Silence

my rats squabbleing and squeaking and argueing over monky nuts

Stockhausen - Zeitmasse

Just picked up a recording of this on Wergo with the Ensemble Recherche. I've been wanting to hear this piece since first stumbling across the score some 15 years ago now. Once I've listened a couple of times, I'll crack the score open and start to really dig in

Awwh I love rats

Mozart Horn concerto as performed by Flanders and Swann

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jc_BFM_wJMU...feature=related

I once had a whim and I had to obey it
To buy a French Horn in a second-hand shop.....

Although I'm slightly envious that it only took him "hours" to master the instrument and not years..........

We marvel at the lyrics of F&S, but Donald Swann's accompaniments are subtle and deft - usual thing: something done so well that we hardly notice it.

Wizzard : 'See my Baby Jive'

Now I know what to do if an annoying tune gets into my head ...... where's my vuvuzela?!

Schumann's Fantasiestucke Op.73 - Emma Johnson and Gordon Back (piano)

Weber's Grand Duo Concertante.

Clearly you're in a clarinetty mood

Yes, just having a binge on clarinet music - I have the Julian Bliss EMI recording lined up next, then Maximiliano Martin's Lutoslawski Dance Preludes and a CD of British Clarinet Concertos: Paul, Horovitz, Woolfenden, Bush, MacDonald, Cruft, Ridout on the White Line label.

(I'm preparing solutions to Further Maths papers on mapping from the z-plane to the w-plane - the music helps!)

.... and feeling incredibly envious.....

drilling.

Messager's Solo de concours.

Didn't get around to listening to it this morning - too proficient at working through my maths, so had more music than sums to soak it up!


Oh, it's just finished, so on to the Sonatina by Horovitz - fun rhythmic last movement for the pianist!

Maximilano martin is the boy have a listen to his recording of the mozart concerto with the scottish chamber orchestra *very fast tempo for opening movement*.

Nemo-Nightwish

Surely that's the same as Nemo's Daywish - to be reunited with his parents!

Very good

Vivaldi on Radio 3 - from his L'Estro Armonico. The current concerto is also one that Bach transcribed for Organ: Concerto in D minor, BWV 596.

Now they're playing one that Bach transcribed for harpsichord.

Bach's motet Jesu, meine Freude on Radio 3.

Earlier we had Handel's Dixit Dominus with Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata rather oddly interspersed between a Bach Cantata and this motet!

Think I'll visit the 'Insomniac's Place'.

The Stranglers Greatest Hits 1977-1990.

Class.

At full throttle?

Walkin' on the beaches......

Livin' On A Prayer-Bon Jovi

... and did that help you through your music exam?

Nope, it was a music exam, not RE!

What a GREAT song ... you cannot hear that song without moving some part of your body

When I went to see him In Milton Keynes a few years ago he played that song last! Great concert! But I lost my voice for 2 days after that!! Must have been singing (or screaming more like it!!!) too much!!!

I "danced" to it at a wedding once..... or something approximating dance. Thank heavens there were no camcorders

50 Heaviest Riffs In Rock on Kerrang-currently playing Eye Of The Tiger by Survivor

Aaaaarrrrrrgggghhhhh!!!

A year ago last February our Music Department had a 24hr Playathon. Muggins here was working on computer in the main music room where they had set up a Wii with Guitar Hero(?) - I think it was called. I heard this so many times.

Boy was I relieved when the performers in the Hall who had flagged, came to ask me to play instead; even though it was about quarter past three in the morning! Phew!

The music of Charles Alkan (Esquisses op. 63 at the moment) played by Ronald Smith. Electrifying !

I have the more recent Steven Osborne recording on Hyperion.

As a result I bought the scores; for Alkan, many of them are surprisingly manageable!

Debussy's suite Pour le Piano played by Paul Crossley.

Now that I play the Sarabande myself, I don't care for the way in which he 'pulls it about'!

Debussy's Images oubliees include a movement which is thought to be the precursor of the Sarabande, so much so that Crossley doesn't include both pieces. However, the third of the Images oubliees sounds very much as though Satie and Debussy are playing a duet - Satie providing the melody and Debussy the accompaniment!

Brahms Piano Quintet in F Minor

Phew! I trust an acoustic version and not a Thrash Metal Remix?!

Acoustic all the way, funnily enough, I can't find the Anthrax version of this!

Phew again and double-phew! I love Brahms' Chamber works.

I just love Brahms in general-yes, it is a point of amusement amongst my rather more metal-minded friends!

The Glee soundtrack (I've downloaded the ones I like), currently Defying Gravity from Wicked....

Drama on 3: The Hybernaculum.

Here We Are Juggernaut-Coheed And Cambria

Going to see them tomorrow night!

Disney's Fantasia Stravinsky The Firebird Suite on youtube

Rosemary Brown's Nocturne in A flat (Well, I just read the thread in Viva Piano and got really curious...)

Likewise ...... Byrd's Fantasia in G
